Detailed study

[monokekie]

If I were the examiner, I would become insecure about my appearance if someone said that. And subsequently I would give the student who provoked this unpleasant feeling of insecurity a low mark xD. But then again, it depends on the person.

just don't use 你（that's rude)，remember to use 广大中年消费群体 and 年轻的女性朋友 etc. You need to be able to control your use of language to express your meaning appropriately.

Haha "a young female's friend." I see, you just got to find the right way to phrase it.

Hm i see, Ok lets say oral is like my worst part of chinese lol. Other stuff like listening, translating and writing is ok for me.

What topic/s would you recommend, i dont really want spend that much time on it, cause i still gotta study alot for other subs.

Think about Chinese traditions, festivals, places, people, culture, institutes, its development, educational system, and history.You can even pick a great/famous Chinese person(this is hard)

Choosing a place，however, could be an easy/nice one. Pick a place in China (except for Tibet) that is preferably NOT well known, and of which could be fascinating at the same time(find something INTERESTING). Generally examiners are at about my parents' age & even younger, i know that they are quite happy to learn more about their own country, talk about the nice foods, products, local language and how it looks like etc. They are not likely to ask anything off-topic, there's limited things in which they could you ask about a place. To help you prepare for this topic, GOOGLE all the way spend about 5-10 minutes per day googling about the place you will be searching for, prepare everything in English first, then translate them into Chinese. Trust me, that will work.

I also recommend choosing a type of food that represents China. Most Chinese examiners care about consuming FOODs that are delicious yet healthy, ofcourse,and are also currently popular in China. You could do 阿胶, its extremely popular now. So when you get a mid-aged examiner, tell him/her firstly that 阿胶 makes people look younger. Emphasise to a young female examiner that it could improve their skin conditions. Also, 中国的糕 is good，and there are heaps more you could think about.

Ill suggest you more topics if you tell me more specifically about what you are interested in,

Hm, a place eh? Yeah i wouldnt mind doing a place or food, it is pretty interesting.

Also my friend did 大猫熊, he said it was easy.

Yeap, I knew a few people who did that, it's a pretty straight forward topic.

I chose 筷子 0.o

[kyzoo]

因为这是我的习惯。

And where do I get good-looking 筷子 from?

[kyzoo]

I want some rainbow-spiral 筷子, where can I find that?

oh panda! its very cute indeed, but the only con is that its way too popular. Why not pick something easy yet interesting? 小熊猫is good, its extremely likable and very Chinese. you could start the convo by saying
"两位考官您们好，今天我演讲题目是祖国的小熊猫。
如今，憨憨的大熊猫是人人皆知的中国国宝，然而，同样惹人喜爱的小熊猫却时常被人忽略。（take out your picture)
今天，我们就来了解一下中国的珍稀动物-小熊猫吧！" you could edit/paraphrase this a bit, its a rather special start that grabs your examiners' attention and interests

you could also do 金丝猴，华南虎，etc,etc

animals are good, the conversation's scope is often liimited to certain general areas and the amount of preparation required is quite satisfying ^_^

Hm alright ill think about it haha
